Whole Body Counters

Whole Body Counters by F. W. Lengemann and John H. Woodburn is a comprehensive exploration of the technology and methodology used in measuring radioactive substances within the human body. The authors delve into the principles of radiation detection the design of whole body counters and the importance of accurate measurements in health physics. This book serves as a vital resource for professionals in the fields of radiation safety medical physics and environmental health providing insights into the operational aspects and the significance of monitoring internal contamination. *** The text not only covers the technical specifications and operational protocols of whole body counters but also discusses the implications of radiation exposure on human health. Lengemann and Woodburn emphasize the need for precise calibration and maintenance of detection equipment to ensure reliable results. By integrating theoretical knowledge with practical applications the authors aim to equip readers with the necessary tools to effectively assess and manage radiation risks. This book is essential for anyone involved in radiation monitoring and health assessment.
